Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021096712A1] A plurality of endpoints in a wet etching process of a substrate are determined. A plurality of benchmark end points during a wet etching process of a first substrate are determined, using first light information represented by a HSV color model for sample locations of the first substrate. Etch parameters are generated for a wet etching process for a second substrate. The generated etch parameters are used with second light information represented by at least one value of the Hue, Saturation, Value color model associated with a plurality of sample locations of the second substrate to reach respective end points during the wet etching process of a second substrate.
